Edge of Seventeen (with the Melbourne Symphony) - Live 2006

Just like the white winged dove sings a song
 Sounds like she's singing
 Whoo, whoo, whoo
 Just like the white winged dove sings a song
 Sounds like she's singing
 Whoo, whoo, whoo
 And the days go by like a strand in the wind
 In the web that is my own, I begin again
 Said to my friend, baby, nothin' else mattered
 He was no more than a baby then
 Well he seemed broken hearted
 Something within him
 But the moment that I first laid
 Eyes on him, all alone
 On the edge of... seventeen
 Just like the white winged dove sings a song
 Sounds like she's singing
 Whoo, whoo, whoo
 Just like the white winged sings a song
 Sounds like she's singing
 Whoo, whoo, whoo
 I went today, maybe I will go again tomorrow
 And the music there it was hauntingly familiar
 And I see you doing what I try to do for me
 With the words from a poet and the voice from a choir
 And a melody, nothing else mattered
 Just like the white winged dove sings a song
 Sounds like she's singing
 Whoo, whoo, whoo
 Just like the white winged sings a song
 Sounds like she's singing
 Whoo, whoo, whoo
 The clouds never expect it when it rains
 But the sea changes colours, but the sea
 Does not change
 And so with the slow, graceful flow of age
 I went forth with an age old desire to please
 On the edge of... seventeen
 Just like the white winged dove sings a song
 Sounds like she's singing
 Whoo, whoo, whoo
 Just like the white winged sings a song
 Sounds like she's singing
 Whoo, whoo, whoo
 Well then suddenly there was no one
 Left standing in the hall
 In a flood of tears that
 No one really ever heard fall at all
 Oh I went searchin' for an answer
 Up the stairs and down the hall
 Not to find an answer, just to hear the call
 Of a nightbird singing "Come away" (Come away)
 Just like the white winged dove sings a song
 Sounds like she's singing
 Whoo, whoo, whoo
 Just like the white winged sings a song
 Sounds like she's singing
 Whoo, whoo, whoo
 Well I hear you in the morning
 And I hear you at nightfall
 Sometime to be near you
 Is to be unable to hear you, my love
 I'm a few years older than you
 (I'm a few years older than you) my love
 Just like the white winged dove sings a song
 Sounds like she's singing
 Whoo, whoo, whoo
 Just like the white winged sings a song
 Sounds like she's singing
 Whoo, whoo, whoo
